The adoption of the new Agenda for Sustainable Development and its implementation, as well as the crisis state of almost all spheres of public life in Ukraine require deepening scientific research on issues related to the formation and effective implementation of financial policies aimed at creating favorable conditions for the sustainable development of the country. Given the large number and scale of the goals and objectives of sustainable development, the solution of which requires enormous amounts of financial resources, it is important to identify priority areas of the financial policy of sustainable development of the country as key tasks to achieve of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). The problems of the financial policy of sustainable development are at the center of research by leading scientists from both foreign and domestic scientific schools. But the novelty of the problems associated with the practical implementation of the concept of sustainable development requires further research in order to justify the theoretical foundations of the formation and determination of the directions for the effective implementation of the financial policy of the transition to the principles of sustainable development. The objective of the study is to disclose the nature and specifics of the financial policy of sustainable development. The aim of the work is to substantiate the priority areas of financial policy of Ukraine in the context of the goals and objectives of the 2030 Agenda. In the research process, general scientific and special methods were used: analysis and synthesis, the method of comparison, generalization, statistical, etc. The article identifies priority areas of financial policy of Ukraine in the context of goals and objectives defined by the Agenda for Sustainable Development for the period up to 2030. The specific features of the financial policy of sustainable development, the features of its development and implementation are investigated. Attention is focused on the problem of socio-economic inequality in the country and directions for overcoming it are proposed, which is one of the necessary conditions for the development of Ukraine on the principles of sustainable development. The results of this study can be applied in the process of formation and implementation of the financial policy of sustainable development of the country. The concept of sustainable development necessitates the coordination of the strategic goals of the financial development of the national socio-economic system. It is important to identify the features and factors that influence the formation and implementation of financial policies in the context of the goals and objectives of sustainable development and determine its priority areas.

The purpose of this article is to examine to what extent the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) hold out new promises for health in Africa. Two significant shortcomings will have to be overcome. Application of a ‘social determinants of health’ approach is still woefully difficult in Africa due to the stronghold that international actors maintain over local governments. The persistence of a ‘turnkey’ concept of health policies is reflected in the coexistence of a disparate range of programmes and measures, often driven by the development partners. Thus the low level of institutional complementarities is a crucial issue in the effective implementation of the SDGs.

This article has the scope of the way the process and the sustainability try to act in a united formfor the sustainabedevelopment, in a way to briefly present definitions towards the sustainable development goals (SDG). Futhermore, it demonstraits a wide comprehention of how the SDG and the brazilian mining activities interrelate harmonicly, besides explaining completly its negative effects, it trys to show the real contribution and potential of the mining sector in the sustainable development goals. This paper also observes the fulfillment of its effective implementation in the brazilian territory and in the world, as well as aspects related to the dam safaty, showing, how the how the fiscalization in this context, can be considered the primary element, influent and adpted to the SDG, and whatever way may be, enventually, be propost to reach this essential harmony betweenSDG and Mining. The mathod applied was the legal deductive, from this analysis of the national lesgisation and doctrine. Therefore it is pertinent the need of interrelate and harmony of sustainable methods conected to mining,changing how the companies use the mining resorces, changing it to sustainable actions in a way that makes the extrations of ores a less agressive activitie to the enviorment, using of all the tecnology and studies available to minimize and compreheend the impacts generated, economic investiments to social and educational purposes, thus being ONU’s SDG, indispensables way to reach the higly expected sustainable development in the mining activies areas of Brazil and the world.

Foresight-based forecasting methods have become widespread throughout the world, which provide for the study of the prospects for the development of markets, industries, science-intensive products, with the justification of management decisions, etc. Technological foresight is a method for determining the prospects for innovative development, identifying technological breakthroughs that can maximally affect the development of the economy and society in the medium and long term. The validity period of the Laws of Ukraine "On Priority Areas of Scientific and Technical Activity" and "On Priority Areas of Innovation Activity in Ukraine" expires in 2021-2022. Taking into account the Decree of the President of Ukraine from September 30, 2019 No. 722/2019 "On the Sustainable Development Goals of Ukraine for the period up to 2030", it was decided to conduct foresight studies in Ukraine, and put the Sustainable Development Goals as their basis. The chosen methodology provided for foresight research in three stages: 1) a survey of experts - representatives of scientific organizations and higher educational institutions (HEIs) on the proposed directions of scientific and technological research that are important for achieving the SDG in Ukraine; 2) a survey of experts - representatives of business and central authorities on the acceptability of the directions proposed by scientists for the development of business and the state; 3) determination of international competitiveness and patentability of the Ukrainian scientists proposals. More than 500 experts took part in foresight research in Ukraine, including representatives of central executive authorities, scientists, heads of public organizations, associations and businessmen. Based on the results of expert surveys, a list of the most necessary directions for the development of science and technology for 2021-2030 for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals was determined. This list includes proposals on the topics of all 17 Sustainable Development Goals, which are proposed to be combined into such clusters and which are proposed as strategic priorities for scientific and technological activities: • digitalization of the economy; • green growth and increased resource efficiency of the economy; • overcoming hunger, developing the agro-industrial complex; • health of the nation; • development of industry 4.0 and convergent technologies; • development of an inclusive society.

Studies have shown that comparison of strategies for sustainable cities in Asian countries is carried out through the prism of the international concept of sustainable development. The work builds a complex relationship between general and specific criteria for sustainable development of the urban environment in the strategies of individual Asian countries. Priority is given to management, socio-economic development, and environmental protection. Sustainable urban development guidelines are shown considering problems of poverty, environmental pressures, and drawing attention to environmental problems in cities. The particular countries (Bhutan, Myanmar and Cambodia) show guidelines for sustainable urban development, considering urbanization and population flows, the vulnerability of major population groups and addressing poverty and pressure on the environment. Analyzing the Sustainable Development Goals and internal strategies of Asian countries, the authors sought to determine the goals and objectives of creating sustainable cities, features of sustainable cities’ strategies in individual Asian countries and typical problems that arise on the path to sustainable urban development. The hypothesis of the study is the approach to sustainable cities through the prism of the concept of sustainable development with its socioenvironmental and economic components in their relationship and interdependence.
